Hendo being out is swift kick in the bawbag, and he'll be missed, however we should still have enough to beat the Foxes,
Can't see anyone else but Can coming in as his replacement, I'm hoping Lovren is back but if not I'd rather we have Klavan over Lucas partnering Matip, the likely X1 therefore should look something like thus........
Karius
Clyne Matip Lovren Milner
Lallana Emre Wijnaldum
Mane Firmino Coutinho
Bench ;
Mignolet, TAA, Klavan, Moreno, Gomez, Sturridge, Origi
1-3 Mighty Reds
YNWA
Yep, agree with team selection, and going for Klavan over Lucas for this one.
Would also try Karius, though anyone's guess who Klopp with go with.
Given we haven't played in so long, disappointing to see Hendo out with foot problem, guess it's the plantarfacietis (spelling?) again, which is a bit of a shi**er. Hopefully Emre can improve on recent performances, which though not very good, don't think have been as bad as some would believe.
Start Lallana in midfield, then the front three pick themselves. Mane is my FF captain this week, hoping he can make hay against these guys.
We should be well rested and full of beans.
Hard to know how Leicester will react to Ranieri leaving. Good article in the paper at the weekend talking about Leicester, how Walsh leaving, Shakespeare being marginalised, and Ranieri's poor player selections, had a bad effect on the squad. Apparently Ranieri was picking guys who shouldn't have been playing on merit. If the stand in picks a team that the players buy into, could be tougher game than we think.
We'll soon see...
